ONLINE - It’s all about communication! How do I do that? with Trouvere-le-Fou ChanteuselaBelle
2023-05-02 19:00 - 22:00
Specific examples of techniques to improve your communication skills. Hint: listen first. One of the challenges is that almost every relationship question is answered with “Communicate.” What people seldom do is give you dieas on how to communicate. That is what this class does. Not every possibility is explored, but some good starting points for communication.
“We have been married for almost 35 years, kinky for 25+, and in varying degrees of PE for over 20. We have been out and about at the Power Exchange Summit, Master / slave Conference, Master/slave Gathering, and Southwest Leather Conference among others. Lately we have taught for various MAsT Chapters, The Rochester Kink Society, TES Online and TESFest, and the Dating Kinky class series. We hope to be able to teach and learn from your organization as well. We are founding members of MaST Fredericksburg, where Trouvere is Director and Chanteuse is Majordomo.
Trouvere spent four years as a full-time technical instructor. He has decades of public speaking and adult education experience. Chanteuse has a PhD in Educational Psychology and has taught and supervised instructors from pre-school to adult learners for the last 3 decades. https://fetlife.com/users/1122764 & https://fetlife.com/users/2533878”

ONLINE - BEDROC with AttorneyLadySteele
2023-05-23 19:00 - 22:00
BEDROC is my acronym for how I am living my life again, after a long hiatus. It is a mix of a friend’s philosophy plus my own philosophy I knew of for 13 years and actively lived for 5. The last 8 years? It became less and less until I lost myself, lost the respect of those I love(d), and nearly lost my sanity.
No more.
It’s time to come home. It’s time for my foundation to be BEDROC once more.
I share this in the hope that it helps others.
Be well, and happy holidays, if I don’t say it again.
BEDROC:
Boundaries – creating and maintaining mine; honoring others’.
Expectations – managing mine, having as few as possible as to not build resentment.
Detachment – as necessary, with love, not a machete.
Respect – act in a respectful way – take no disrespect from others. Be mutually respectful in my relationships with others.
Open Communication – give it and accept no less; transparency in all things.
Commitment – to myself then to those who I’ve committed to. Must also be bilateral. One person cannot make a relationship work, no matter what kind of relationship it is.
Lady Steele identifies as a femme queer Alpha leather slave. She has served in the Leather community since 1999. She has presented and volunteered across the U. S. and internationally. She resides in Atlanta where she operates her law practice that serves people in the various BDSM worlds and the ethical non-monogamy (ENM) community. She is the only out, open, and practicing attorney in the U.S. that specializes in the issues that are unique to the BDSM and ENM communities.
She is the founder of the Center of Learning and School of Success (C.L.A.S.S.), the Worthless Bastards (Cigar) Club (W.B.C. – Atlanta), and The Leather Coterie (T.L.C.). She proudly leads all of these organizations under the umbrella of the West Inclusive Georgia Socials (W.I.N.G.S.) group. Lady Steele held the position of Social Coordinator for NLA – Atlanta during its last incarnation in Atlanta.
She continues to give back to the community as Board Support and Vendor Coordinator for the Leather Leadership Conference and is also a proud member of Onyx Pearls – Southern Leather.
When she is not presenting, Lady Steele has shared her knowledge through multiple podcasts on BlogTalk (“The Legal Show”), the KinkyCast, the Poly Podcast, Kuldrin’s Krypt, Nightlife 24/7, Dating Kinky, Excite Me, and the Black to Leather podcast.

ONLINE - TES presents - Neuroscience of Drop, Why It Matters, and How Intentional Aftercare Helps with xSolaris
2023-05-30 19:00 - 22:00
If you’ve been in kink for any length of time, it’s likely that you’ve experienced or seen someone else experience drop. But what causes it? How is it treated, other than aftercare? And how can severe drop be prevented? In easy-to-understand language, this class explains these concepts and more. You will better understand your personal risk budget, be able to plan for an active kink life when you can’t afford to take lengthy periods of time to be in drop, better gauge the warning signs of burnout/severe drop before they happen, make more effective decisions about when, where, and who to play with, and pad your relationships against any unintended damage due to drop. This class covers event drop, drop for both sides of the slash, for singles and those in relationships, and special concerns for edge play.
xSolaris is a Social Psychologist and Neuroscientist with a decade in kink. Lifestyle Switch in a Primal dynamic and a professional Domme/Sadist with a commitment to RACK/PRICK.

ONLINE - Obedience with Lady Elaina
2023-09-26 19:00 - 22:00
Join us for Obedience with @LadyElainaNY
Often we don’t like to think about the tougher aspects of what it is that we do, and not everyone even goes to the same place with things. But for those who practice M/s and D/s, nothing is possible without Obedience. It is not optional. If participating in a Master/Slave dynamic, the very roots of the relationship require it. Why? What is that about?
Some things we’ll look at will include the things that make it necessary, why it is so difficult, the feelings involved, and what happens when things go wrong. How do you get back on track, how can we be better at this dynamic, etc.
Audience participation will be encouraged…. and expected.
In The Scene since 1980, Lady Elaina practices Spiritual Mastery. Founder/ Director of The South Jersey Power Exchange, MAsT:Edgewater Park and Brooklyn Leather/LeatherFolk, inducted into The Leather Archives and Museum in 2011. Fetlife contains her curriculam vitae under @LadyElainaNY
She runs a support group for M/s Switches at the M/s Conferences; educates about the difference between the BDSM and M/s Switch. A Leather Maker since 1990, she founded and owns SceneWear Originals® by S.A.M.Co. www.scenewear.com
Current/former member: B.O.D. TES, DSF, NLA, Multiple MAsT Chapters, etc.
Auctioneer: Paddles at Zone DK, Paddles NYC, TESFest, Summer Bashes, Time Out Chicago, etc. Graduate of MTTA. Lady Elaina is Master of the Unicorn Household, at Unicorn Keep.

IN PERSON - Ready, Aim, Flog with sudisa
2023-11-02 19:15 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Floggers are wonderful impact tools, from stingy to thuddy to sensual and all points in between. Let’s put a flogger in your hands so you and your bottom can have as much fun as possible. This hands-on class will offer some ideas for you to add this versatile item to your repertoire and create fabulous flogging scenes.
sudisa is a skilled top and Domme who has been active in the local community for more than five years. She got hooked on flogging at her first play party. After a few scenes, she purchased some floggers to keep in her toy bag so she could always be ready in case she found a willing top. It was on a whim during the summer of 2017 that she purchased a matched set of floggers and learned how to do Florentine flogging. Within no time she had her first flogging scene as a top! She continues to practice and she loves to arrange flogging scenes as often as she can. She did several beginner single flogger classes that were held at the local dungeon. She has since developed an advanced two flogger florentine class as well. She’s always happy to demonstrate the art of flogging with others.

IN PERSON – Life in Plastic: Doll Play with Alex and Madeline Wrapped in Plastic, it's Fantastic
2023-11-16 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Hi Barbie! Doll play is a broad topic that has many more facets than some people realize. This class will give an overview of the types of doll play that are commonly done and how different forms can be adjusted depending on the doll’s body, needs, and the desires of those involved. We will discuss resources for doll play, including how to find or make doll clothes, what kind of accessories are commonly (or uncommonly) used, etc. We will cover the different kinds of headspace that might occur during doll play, and how it differs from “normal” bottom headspace. We will also show our personal transformation process and the kinds of fun that can be had with our particular dolly.
Alex and Madeline are both trained scientists who love to use their analytical minds and love of learning both in the bedroom and the dungeon. They have been very active in the Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul and now New York communities, helping to run BDSM organizations, assisting with large-scale events, and teaching classes on various edge play techniques. They have a reputation for enjoying some of the odder branches of BDSM play and for being lucky to have found each other’s sick minds. Alex can be found on Fetlife at ninjajuicer and Madeline can be found at saltygoodness
